The Best New Sample Packs and Instruments this week! · Source: gearnews.com/8DIO/YouTube
We’ve made it to the third instalment of the best sample packs of the week! This round features a magnificent digital recreation of a violin recorded in a legendary New York City studio, a granular synthesizer that can do some amazing things to audio, a sound pack dedicated to trance music creation, and a virtual synthesizer that is easy to use and comes at a low price point.
Sound Magic Cadenza Violin
Recorded at Platinum Sound in New York City, this violin sample pack from Sound Magic offers the heart and soul of the instrument in a fantastically sampled virtual format. The sounds were created by recording the instrument with vintage Neumann microphones into a SSL 9000 series console.
Sound Magic’s proprietary Modeling Legato technology is on full display. Violin is an incredibly difficult instrument to sample, as so much of its magic lies within the tone of the hands of the player. They took great lengths to ensure that all of the subtleties of the instrument were translated.
The number of articulations specific to the violin is like no other, and this sample pack makes that full spectrum available. In addition to these, there is a 5-band parametric EQ built in to offer more tonal control.

nLab Synthesis Grano
Grano is a quad voice granular synthesizer built for use with Native Instruments Reaktor 6. With it you can innovate new sounds altogether. The interface is fairly simple to use and offers a variety of ways to manipulate imported sounds via control over modulation, parallel compression and limiting, effects, LFOs, and automation. And with as much sound design control that it offers, it surprisingly doesn’t take up much system resources.
